A Guide to Mediation - MIAMs and Mediation Explained

Mediation has increasingly been recognised and used as a way of settling disputes when couples are separating or divorcing. This is a short film illustrating what happens in mediation and the preparation meeting, a mediation information and assessment meeting (MIAM).

Regular contact with both parents for younger children

Regular, positive contact with both parents is the best way to bring up children when parents separate. Tanya Victor went to mediation with the father of her daughter, Georgia, and talks about how it has improved life for all of them. John Hickman talks to his children everyday using FaceTime.

Property and finance

Family mediation helped Martin and Steven come to an amicable arrangement over property and pensions when their civil partnership broke down. Brenda and her husband divorced using mediation, and they still live in the same house.

Tricia Mason went to family mediation 15 years ago. She talks about how her two children have regular contact with their father. Her daughter Kate grew up with her parents living apart, and she talks about how important it has been for her to have contact with both parents over the years.
